5. Conclusion
In this paper, Almond Shells (ASs) particles reinforced PP composites
with and without compatibilizer were compounded and pressed into test samples. The mechanical and thermal properties of the binary and ternary systems were compared and analyzed against neat PP. The results show an increase in mechanical properties with the addition of particles in the matrix against neat PP, reaching 56.2% and 35% for binary and ternary composites respectively, at 30 wt.% particle loading in tensile modulus. The use of SEBS-g-MA as compatibilizer has improved the tensile properties of the composite due to the possible chemical bonding between the hydroxyl groups found at the particles surface and the polymeric matrix.
The evaluation of the thermal properties of the both composite systems shows that the decomposition temperature of binary and ternary composites increase from 351 _C (neat PP) to 362 _C and 365 (binary and ternary composites, respectively), with the increase of particle loading from 25 wt.%.
